I could not find a version of this trailer on YouTube with good video/sound quality. So, here’s a better version on IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0482571/videoplayer/vi2885334553?ref_=tt_ov_vi


This trailer’s amazing. It’s intriguing without really giving away anything major in the film. And, I love how it explains to you the three acts the pledge, the turn, and the prestige hinting at how they relate to the events and characters in the film.

Also, this trailer has some of the best title cards I’ve ever seen. Usually, I filter out title cards and find them annoying; however, these capture my attention through their brilliant sound design and animation. They feel organic. Like they belong in the trailer, as opposed to being last-minute additions required for marketing purposes.
